Last night I was having a conversation with my daughter (20) about me moving out on Friday. I have four kids 20-24 that live at home and have known since Easter that their mom and I are splitting up. It is not something I want. I’m not perfect but I’d say I’ve been a damn good husband, friend, provider, partner, and parent. That’s not to say I haven’t made mistakes. So you’re aware, infidelity was never an issue, I have always been faithful to my wife and I believe her to me. I was talking with my daughter basically asking her not to forget about me. My kids are staying in our family home (I’m helping my wife keep the house - for her and for them). I was telling her that my relationship with her is a bit harder. I hang out with her older brothers more.. go sports events, watch games, etc. The only thing I really did with my daughter was go to dance competitions and recitals. Now the only real time I get with her is driving her to or picking her up from work (she doesn’t have a license). I told her I’d continue to bring her to and from work even though I’d have to backtrack home after.. she’s still by daughter, my princess.. and like I said it’s the only time we usually talk.. in any case I was commenting that we would no longer have the current conversation we were having because it was organic and in our living room. Right now I can be going to the kitchen or ust passing by the kids in the hallway or on the way to bathroom :) and see them and have a quick chat. I won’t have that luxury of seeing them every day of saying hi and good night and have fun with your friends because I won’t know what’s going on.. and I cracked.. started to cry.. couldn’t talk for a few.. apologized and she said DO NOT APOLOGIZE [for loving me].. it’s just so hard.. I am moving Friday.. Father’s Day is coming up.. just waiting for the judge to sign the papers..I’m lost, lonely, and honestly afraid of losing everything..
